Abstract:
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, medical institutions in different parts of the country have experienced personal protective equipment(PPE) shortages at different levels. The situation is especially severe in the COVID-19 epicenter. Overseas donation is one of the effective ways to ease the shortage of PPE. Based on the practice of Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the authors discussed the difficulties and risks for public hospitals to receive overseas donations, summarized experience and proposed suggestions which can be used as reference for other public hospitals and related departments.
